Never have I ever seen such a comprehensive video on the science of note taking (that too on youtube!). Thank you!

Another really huge hole in the studies and even this video and all of learning-youtube is that not all of us are students. I'm a working professional who continues his learning on his own, completely self directed.

It'd also recommend considering the delivery of this video. You're taking the usual academic approach which is bottom-up with the hope that it helps the learner/viewer to understand but on a platform like youtube everyone will have churned by the end to actually get your final message. If you had started with your conclusions and worked your way down to the important parts of the study then that would have made things more clear.

"Should I take notes?", "It depends on your overall strategy and context", "oh okay, what are those strategies and contexts?" That kind of flow would have made this video much clearer IMO. Nobody really cares about the studies, we care about the conclusions and the reasonings behind them.

Good video in any case, thanks for putting the work in to ask questions that everyone seems to to take for granted.

Taking notes after reading/watching or listening to lectures and testing are the best.

Review, make short notes based on what you understand and not copy/paste or transcribe. Test.

It works best for me.

Notes, in any shape or form, is soooo much better than none at all

So cool to see someone with this much curiosity, I too was frustrated at the fact that studies and people in general take for granted that notes are useful or necessary.

Hello Santiago, I would like to get more information about the course that you offer to Learn microbiology please.

Good research, but we still didn't get the ultimate results. I guess the best is doing MCQs and taking notes from the MCQs. Also, I am trying to find the best of Anki + MCQ + Taking notes. It may be doing MCQs and taking important notes into Anki. What is your opinion? Don't skip Anki from this discussion!

How can I contact you Santiago? Thanks

Doesn’t it matter that you get results from those tests? Like, just taking a test and not knowing which answers I got right or wrong - I don’t see how that would be helpful.
